Human Agenda, the Center for Farmworker Families, and the Food Empowerment Project met with four leaders in the Office of Migrant Services (OMS) of the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on Friday, July 18 to promote a regulatory change to the “50-mile rule”. The rule requires that migrant farmworkers in 24 migrant labor centers in California move 50 miles away in the off-season, radically disrupting the education of their children from November to May each academic year.

Please join us on Saturday, March 15 at 10 am to work on AB 2464, the Migrant Education Bill. We will need to work with great dedication after that point, and we are working behind the scenes now (with Paul Fong's office, the Castellanos Family Foundation (CFF), on the intern job description, etc.) so that we have a foundation to move forward quickly after March 15.

Please save the date and the time at the address of Human Agenda, below.

Human Agenda

The mission of Human Agenda is to envision a world where the human needs of all can be met, engage the community in forging local institutions that are democratic, cooperative, egalitarian, sustainable, and kind, and take individual responsibility to embody the change we’d like to see.
